I completley disagree in this case. He is really trying, he just isnt a very good athlete and hes doing the best he can. I truly believe he is doing as much as he can but he isn't that fast or freakishly strong.

He's not trying. He's just sitting there happy to not be getting his ass kicked.

Erick Silva, on the other hand, is ALWAYS trying to end the fight.

Fitch was trying to take his back and has been tagging silva with uppercuts and some elbows, he just has no power. I think Fitch is doing all he can to be successful in his profession. I can't blame him.

You just blindly hate him then, because that fight he just had with Silva was quite entertaining. There are sometimes Fitch is a bit too content to control and throw enough to keep a guy down, but he was really aggressive tonight and it was an exciting fight.

I really think Mario should have stepped in at the end of the first round.

There was a handful of instances where he should have stepped in. Maldonado was still attempting to defend himself but he couldn't stop any punches from hitting him flush, and on his feet his legs were noodles. That was awful.

There really should be some accountability for mistakes by refs. I hear refs like herb dean and josh rosenthal talk about how hard refs try and how badly they feel when they make mistakes but in what other job are there no consequences for poor performance?

I'm sure the commission has tabs on how the refs perform. There's no way they'd constantly let someone be out there that can put fighters at risk.
